This case is a very unfortunate example of why I hate to see people get into large cocktails. It can be like getting into quicksand. It isn't so hard to get in, but real hard to get out.
I don't think it is a return of your original symptoms. As those doses come down, noradrenergic stimulation is coming down. Any number of unknown things are happening with dopamine. Not mention the dozens of other things we don't even have a good handle on yet...genes, enzymes, secondary messengers. The weepy part is where your brain is realizing something has changed. It needs to adjust but can't do it fast enough for you.
My best suggestion would be to reduce the doses in much smaller steps, then go back up a small step for a day, then back down, kind of in a see-saw pattern. Whatever dose-size you decreased was probably too much. Cut pills, slice slivers off them, customize capsules...tricks to get tiny custom dose changes.
